Mills on the Afgllanistan Frontier.

High noon finds rs at our destination for
the day, the village of Tabbas, famous in all
the country round for peculiar wind mill
used in grinding grain. A grist mill or mills
consists of a row of one storied mud huts,
each of which contains pair of grindstones.
Connecting with the upper stone is a perpen-
dicular shaft of wood which protrudes
through the roof and extends fifteen feet
above it. Cross pieces run through at right
angles and plated with rushes transform the
shaft into an upright four bladed affair that
the wind blows round and turns the mill
stones below.
So far, this is only very primitive and
clumsy method of harnessing the wind; but
connected with it is a very ingenious con-
trivance that redeems it entirely from the
commonplace. A system of mud walls are
built, about the same height or a little higher
than the shaft, in such manner as to con-
centrate and control the wind in the interest
of the miller, regardless Of which direction it
is blowing.
The suction created by the peculiar dispo-
sition of the walls whisks the rude waffle
sails around in the most lively manner. Forty
of these mills are Ill operation at Tabbas; and
to see them all in full swing, making a loud
''sweeshing" noise as they revolve, is most
extraordinary sight. Aside from Tabbas,
these novel grist mills are only to be seen in
the territory about the Seistan lake-Thomas
Stevens in Outing.

Another Lincoln Anecdcte.

Seymour Curtis is one of the characters of
Stratford. He went to the war as fifer. and
since has been what may be called an ardent,
working Republican. He comes to Bridge
port nearly every day, and on his last visit
told the following anecdote never before
printed:
During the presidential campaign of 1856,
when John G. Fremont was the Republican
nominee, Mr.. Curtis, in company with James
Booth, came to this city to hear Lincoln
speak. As Lincoln stepped upon the plat
form to begin his speech Booth said to Curtis,
w hat a homely mani He's the homeliest
man ever saw But as Lincoln talked and
waxed eloquent, Booth brought his clenched
fist down on Curtis's knee and the latter said
he hit hard and said, Seymour Curtis, he is
not so bad looking after ALL He grows hand
somer all the time At last, with sledge
hammer blow of his fist on Curtis's knee,
Booth exclaimed, Curtis, he's the hand
soonest man | ever saw.'"-New York Tri-
bune.

Points on Chicken Stealing.

without making noisep
"That's an art, and man has to serve an
apprenticeship. s-s.epz s.---.g-e4.-----
y Suppose you grasp them by the neck,
and that they die as they go into the bags"
"Oh, you are funny. What's the use kill
ing chicken before you sell him? Sell him
better with his overcoat on, anyway No;
you go up to the coop, and after you have
felt around softly until you strike the wire
that runs to the alarm bell or to the spring
gun, you twist the wire off or cut it. Then
you 60 into the chicken house, and you see the
chickens rooSting on their perches. If they
are low down, you put your hand gently
under them and let their legs go between
your fingers. You lift the hen up slowly and
she does not make any FUSS About the time
she finds out what's the matter she's down in
a dark bag where she can't have room to
run out her head and shake it, so she can't
cackle. A chicken can't cackle if she can't
shake her head, and she does not squawk I'M
less something is hurting her. So the birds

they lie still and make no fuss. IL the
chickens roost high or are up in tree, YOU

them under the breast with the end of it.
They will rise up and then step on to the

A Mexican Education.

The Mexican child of wealthy parents be-
gins his education at the age of years by
the requirement of the essential art OF riding.
The animal he first bestrides is a burro, as the
small donkey, the common beast of burden OF
the country, is called. These little beasts are
infinitely patient and gentle, and so low Of
stature that tumble from them is attended
with no serious consequences From the
burro the boy graduates in year or two to
the back of pony, and thenceforward much
of his outdoor life, particularly if lie lives in
the country, is passed on the back of horse.
By the age of IL b. has begun to wear the
sombrero (hat) heavily trimmed with silver
braid, the wide slashed pantaloons, with
rows Of silver ornaments down at the side,
and the great silver mounted spurs that de-
note his rank as a caballero or gentleman
who goes horseback.
Up to this latter age, his education in let
ters has been obtained frcln his tutor, who is
usually the parish priest, or some student
studying for the priesthood, and his acquire
ments are confined to reading and writing
If musically inclined, he has learned to tinkle
a guitar and to sing a few Spanish songs
He has probably begun to fence and handle
the pistol. He is now sent to some one of
the Mexican national schools, the military
academy at Chapultepec, or school of mines
in the City of Mexico, or to some educational
institution of Europe or the United States,
and his child life is at an end. On his return
home at the age of from 1G to Is years. un-
less he joins the army, begins the serious
duties Of life by entering some business house,
doctors or lawyers Office, or assists his
father in the management of the hacienda or
country estate.-Sunshne.

What Became of NapoIeon's Fortune.
Washington Herald

Washington Herald
One of the most remarkable historical
Incidents of this century was the disap-
pearance of the First Napoleon's enormous
fortune In 1910 he was far and away the
richest individual in the world. He came
out of the Italian campaign, ending in $500,
with S4COOOOO, according to his own ac-
count. This he maintained was his pri-
vate property. Taking the statements he
made to his friends and others at St. Helena,
he must have had hidden away when he
left France the last time the enormous sum
of S4O.OOOO00, or 200,000O00 francs
This would make him very much the
wealthiest man in the world, for that sum
then was equal in influence TO $500, 100000
now. No sovereign of his time could begin
to approach him in personal fortune. Mar
shal Soult, the last of the imperial marshals,
who died in November, 1851, just about a
year before his great antagonist, the Duke
OF Wellngton,) told a venerable French
general officer, who repeated it to the
writer, that when the Emperor went to
Elba he had 60,000000 francs covered up
in Paris alone.
OF the $12000,G00 hard cash paid over
at one time by the United States to Ma
pOleOn as first consul in 1903, it was COM
mon rumor-nOt very general, you may be
sure, hOwever-that 100000 francs of the
sum was never accounted for in vouchers.
This might easily have been. Napoleon
was then first consul for life. He could do
lust what he chose, and nobody dared call
him TO account.
1t is not very difficult to hide money in
large sums, too, so it cannot be found, be
the search ever 50 careful. Ferdinand
Ward has some millions covered up, and
no human being has ever found a clue to
the stolen treasure. 1t was said and
believed by many people, too, that
Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, had
a large sum in his hands belonging to
Napoleon /, which he would have handed
over TO him had he succeeded in getting
away to the United States after Waterloo,
as he tried to do. Louis XVIII, through
his minister Of finance, did all in his power
TO discover this hidden treasure, but those
who knew would never tell. They proba-
bly, took it themselves when the Emperor
died, in 1921. But it is very interesting
and romantic story, the disappearance abb
solutely of the greatest fortune in the
worlds history up to that time, leaving not
a trace behind.

Nj. Quad Gets Into Trouble.

EUFAULA, Ala, Nov. 7.-While Mr.. C. B.
Lewis on. Quad, of The Detroit Free Press,
who has been on visit for a week to this
city. was sitting in front of the st. Julien
hotel in conversation with local newspaper
man, they were approached by stranger
from the country, who asked:
(Which is NJ. Quadr'
"This is" Mr.. Lewis answered, pointing
with a smile to the local newspaper man.
"All right" said the stranger, addressing
the Eufaulan, 81 heerd you wuz in town. and
I've walked fourteen miles ter day jist ter get
er chance to lick yer"
1t appears that the countryman had once
written a communication to NJ Quad, the
plans and specifications of which the humor-
ist criticised or made fun of, and so won the
countryman's lasting enmity. After the af-
fair the two scribes rescued their tall hats
from the sand, and arm in arm they went up
the street, while the countryman was re-
covered and detained Ing enough to be fined
S4 and costs for assault and battery. Mr..
Lewis left this afternoon for Troy, Ala.-St.

Brother Gardner Has Cause to Lecture
Col West-end De Hoyer-Called Back.
"Am Col. West end De Hoyer in de hall dis
evenin'" blandly inquired Brother Gardner
as the meeting softly opened on the usual de-
gree.
The colonel was in the hall. He haS just
removed one of his shoes and was about to
pare down a corn with Whalebone Howker's
white handled razor When he reached the
presidents desk the latter continued:
"Brudder De Hoyer, de report am circum-
navigatin' around dat you has call to go
fo'th an preach"
"Y-yeS, sah."
"When did de call Gums"
"'Bout six weeks ago, sab"
"Dat was about de time you was sot out
doahs for not payin' yer rent"
"Yes, sah."
81 thought so; and you now feel it yer dooty
to spread de gospel"
"Y-yes, sah."
"Well, Brudder De Hoyer, l want to make
a few observations to you. OF all de men,
bers of dis club you ar de moas' shifiess.
You airn less money, you do less work, you
have less to eat and to war, your chillen am
ragged and your wife discouraged, an you
haven't got nuff personal property to fill an
old wheelbarrer. You've been thinkin' how
you could get along still easier an you've hit
on preachin'. You want to go out and warn
de people to be honest, upright, industrious
and savin-jAt what you amt. You want
to talk about de chilren of Egypt while yours
am in rags and dirt. You want to blow up
Eve fun eatin' dat apple, while your own
wife would he glad of a turnip. You want to
give ole Judas Iscariot rakin' down fur
takin' thirty pieces of silver, while you'd sell
out for fifteen, Brudder De Hoyer."
"W-what, sah!"
''If one fing hurts de cause of religion mo-
dan anoder it is in such pussons as you gwine
around de kentry claimin' to represent de
gospel. Why, sab de Lawd nebber eben
heard of you an doan' want to! De gospil
would feel ashamed of yer companyl A man
who would purtend to git religion under your
preachin' orter to be sent to Jail"
Brother De Hoyer's eyes stood out like door
knobs as the president paused for breath, and
the bald spot on his head tried to show all the
colors of the rainbow.
"Now, sab, you 60 an sot down. Put yer
foot right down on de idea dat anybody has
called you to preach. You has been called to
git up tomorrer mawnin and 60 to work.
You has been called to pay up yer debts,
clothe yer family and git sunthin ahead. I'm
goin' to give ye a week to begin in, and II
you doan' take to it you won't spread de gos-
pill instead. You'll be bounced from dis club,
